REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
(1) Remove the side garnish mounting nuts.
(2) Affix protective tape to the periphery of the side garnish.
(3) Insert a fishing line [@0.8 mm (.03 in.)] between the body
and the side garnish and grip each end of the fishing
line. Cut through adhesive material by pulling wire in a
sawing motion and remove the side garnish.
(4) When the side garnish is fastened with a clip or bolt,
pull the side garnish toward you to remove the clip or
the bolt.
Caution
1. To reuse the side garnish, remove it by pulling
the fishing line along the body so as not to damage
the edges of the side garnish.
2. If it is hard to cut through adhesive material, heat
it to approx. 40°C (104°F).
(5) Use an infrared lamp or the like to heat the pressure
sensitive double-sided tape remaining on the body to
40 to 60°C (104 to 140°F) for 5 to 10 minutes.
Caution
Do not overheat the tape until its surface dries to
turn white.

adhesive double coated tape.
